I want to copy a nested data structure. The FAQ tells me:
The Data::Dumper module on CPAN is nice for printing out
data structures, and FreezeThaw for copying them. For
example:
use FreezeThaw qw(freeze thaw);
$new = thaw freeze $old;
Where $old can be (a reference to) any kind of data
structure you'd like. It will be deeply copied.
However, the following program:
use FreezeThaw qw(freeze thaw);
use Data::Dumper;
$hashref = { a => {}, b => {} };
print Dumper($hashref);
$copy = thaw freeze $hashref;
print Dumper($copy);
gives the following output:
$VAR1 = {
'a' => {},
'b' => {}
};
$VAR1 = 1;
What's the problem?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
